Move Some Earth Day

MaPaCutiesmini.jpg The MREA is happy to announce the dates for our annual volunteer gathering and work day at the Institute. This year's Move Some Earth Day will be held April 23, 2005 from 9:30 am - 5:00 pm.

We have a wide variety of work projects planned for the day, including gardening, painting, cleaning, and some light construction. There will also be plenty of time to socialize and meet new friends. All participants will receive a special Move Some Earth Day t-shirt.

No one goes away from Move Some Earth Day hungry. We will be having a BBQ (veggie burgers) and pot luck for lunch, so bring something great to share. And for dinner, we will be hosting our first ever spaghetti feed, with homemade bread from one of our great Board members. There will also be libations from our friends at Central Waters Brewery.

Move Some Earth Day will happen rain or shine, so come dressed for the weather. For more information contact Dan at 715-592-6595, or by email at dan@the-mrea.org.

The MREA is working with a consortium of teachers and educational groups to organize and host Wisconsin Electrathon races around the state. The Electrathon involves high school students in the research, design, building, and racing of small one-person electric vehicles. The goal of the Electrathon is to bring attention to the environmental problems of conventional cars and demonstrate the viability of electric vehicles. The first Wisconsin Electrathon was held May 6-7, at Fox Valley Techical College, in Appleton, WI. 10 Schools participated:

  • Bayfield
  • Cashton
  • Eau Claire North
  • Edgar
  • Green Bay - Preble
  • Madison East
  • Stockbridge
  • Seymour
  • Berlin
  • MFL MarMac (Iowa)

    We are currently looking for race sponsors and hosts.
